Tim, I foundthis too but do the K3 cam swap (new K3 intakes, put your old intakes on teh exhaust side) and you'll get a wad of extra top end at 7000rpm+ just where you need it. I've been on a few track days (not Donny yet) with a mate on his 1997 GSXR600, whihc always ate me up half way down the straights. Last time we were at Cadwell I could just about fend him off on both main straights (125mph at the braking points). Given more distance I wouldn't have pulled it off but it was enough to keep me in the running. Same at Rockingham International, I could keep with a 748 up to braking points.
